Aimed mainly at students and young graduates aged 18 to 28, international volunteering is an enriching professional experience, a real springboard for an international career.
Being an international volunteer means going on a professional mission abroad while benefiting from a protective public status: the International Volunteer (IV) is placed under the supervision of the French Embassy.

From 6 to 24 months, the missions can concern all the trades and be carried out :

• in-house
• within a French public structure under the authority of the MAEE or the Ministry of the Economy and Finance
• in a local foreign public structure
• with international organizations or approved associations.

The VIE is not a voluntary service: the VIs receive a fixed monthly allowance, which varies according to the country of assignment.
